You only have to look at the pinnacle of sport.
The sport where years of training, dedication, blood, sweat and beers go into .......Darts
Not a female in sight, they just cant compete at the highest levels
Sorry, could not resist but agree with most comments above
When my daughter was 4 last year i thought to myself if i start training her now at football (i was above average player but certainly no messi) then i am fairly confident she could play for doncaster womans team when she is older and possibly england. If i had a boy, lets face it they would have no chance even if they wanted to.
Unfortunately she decided she enjoys dancing much more than kicking a ball so dissapears my dream. On the plus side, she is good at dancing and has already won tropheys at the age of 5.
I think i have come round to a point that most sports are male dominated. Boys want to play them growing up. Boys want to dream of making it so put more work in. Boys/males are pysically better built to succeed. If you have a big pool of talent and determination you by the law of averages alone will produce many more high quality athletes
Because many girls are opposite to the above they are always going to be playing catchup unless some parents devote all their time and effort almost forcing them through
Leeis hamiltons dad for example spent all his life paying for the karting and travelling round the country with him to help him succeed. Does this happen with girls? And how many gifls are dven interested in karting in the first place
